Hate collecting from patients who haven’t paid their bills? OD Image

Let HMI and Dun & Bradstreet help.
HMI members now have access to professional help collecting overdue accounts. The DunsDemands Letter Series makes it easy to convey to a patient the seriousness of their delinquency and escalate the collection process. And, because the letters come from Dun & Bradstreet instead of your practice, there’s less chance of alienating your patients and a better chance that you will collect the amount due.

Here’s what you can expect from the DunsDemands system:
Improve cash flow by reducing payment cycles and bad debt.
Accelerate payment of past-due accounts.
Confirm a patient’s intention to pay before initiating more aggressive collection action.
Maximize chances of recovery by initiating collections within 60 days of late payment.
Access your DunsDemands account status in real-time online, anytime.
The longer you wait, the less chance you will collect.

Statistics show that your chances of ever getting paid fall dramatically with every month
you wait before placing an account for collection. D&B guarantees that the dollars you
collect will exceed the investment you make.

Here’s how the DunsDemands Letter Series works:
  1. Go to www.hmibg.com, click ‘D&B Collections’, then select ‘Send Demand Letters’
    at the D&B welcome page.

  2. Enter the requested information for each patient account you want to receive the
    DunsDemands Letter Series
    — you will receive a ‘Demand Letter Confirmation’ for
    each account submitted.

  3. Within a 30-day period, D&B Receivables Management (RMS) will send three letters,
    of increasing urgency, on your behalf to each account submitted. The letters will be
    sent on D&B letterhead and will include a tear-off remittance for patients to mail their
    payment directly to you. Each letter contains standard Fair Debt Collection Practices
    Act (FDCPA) validation language on the reverse side to ensure compliance with
    Federal and State laws governing debt collection.

  4. Your HMI Buying Group statement will reflect a charge of $14.95 for each account
    submitted during the current billing month.
